Did everyone get a letter

from KDC CEO Steve Ruru?

Wasn‘t the flow chart very

helpful! See what Kaipara

Citizens and Ratepayers

Assoc. have to say about the Validation

Bill on pages 11& 12.

For a town where nothing happens, Kai-

waka is pleased to welcome three new

businesses to town. The Spice Lounge

is now open for lunches as well as din-

ners; see their advert on page 17.

Celena’s is a new gift shop which

opened 01 May and is located next to

La Nonna Italian Bakery. It is full of

great items for the people in your life

who have everything. Celena‘s has

come to us from Mangawhai and its

owner is already singing the praises of

the Kaiwaka Community‘s friendliness.

See advert page 21

Body Tech Panelbeaters has very re-

cently acquired the use of workshop

space behind Twinkle Tow ‗n Tyre and

we are very lucky to have such a busi-

ness so close at hand for all our body

repairs! (I wish it was that easy to repair

this old body!) Call in to see Craig for a

free quote anytime. See his advert on

page 12.

And don‘t forget Mormor’s which has-

n‘t been here too long but is already

setting records for foot traffic on that

side of the road.

Congratulations Lynne & Eddie on your

44th Wedding Anniversary. Eddie still

as "Hot" as ever celebrated by taking a

plunge, clothes and all, off the Man-

gawhai pontoon at full tide to "Cool"

down. Go Eddie! Cheers, Ann

New Zealand Constitution –

what's it to you?

Helen Marsh

The government is conducting a review of the New Zea-

land constitution and has set up an advisory panel to report

to them what New Zealanders think. The review was

something the Maori Party asked for as a condition of their

participation in government so there is a view, strongly

expressed in some quarters, that this is an attempt by Mao-

ri to turn the tables of racism and establish special rights

for Maori. Many Maori, on the other hand think it is an

attempt by the National Party to remove their Treaty

rights. Whatever the intention or expectations of the gov-

ernment the review has been set up to be open for submis-

sions on any constitutional issues we are concerned about

including ―Bill of Rights issues‖ and ―other issues and per-

spectives that are raised during public engagement‖. Most

of us don't think we know much about constitutional issues

but we can see some things that are going well in New

Zealand and others that seem to be going badly wrong. We

can use this opportunity to think about how our constitu-

tion can make sure we don't lose the good bits and about

whether it could help change the bad things. Julie Watson

from the Human Rights Commission is coming to Kai-

waka to do a Constitutional Workshop – Julie is a well

respected educator and communicator who makes any

meeting "lively". She can help us work out how, what we

want for NZ in the future, is related to the constitution.

Here is an example of a question I am struggling with: giv-

en that New Zealand representatives worked hard at the

United Nations trying to make the 1948 Universal Declara-

tion of Human Rights strong saying:

“Experience in New Zealand has taught us that the asser-

tion of the right of personal freedom is incomplete unless it

is related to the social and economic rights of the common

man. There can be no difference of opinion as to the tyran-

ny of privation and want. There is no dictator more terri-

ble than hunger.” (Delegation member, Dr Colin Aikman,

on behalf of New Zealand, UN, 1948.)

Why then do we still have unacceptable levels of hun-

ger in New Zealand? Could we put something in the

constitution that would change this?

WOMEN’S SECTION

Not as many members attended the April meeting on the 18th due to

the earlier date clashing with other organisations meeting, but because

ANZAC day fell on our meeting day we had to change the date.

It has been a very busy time for members what with helping with the poppy col-

lections at Kaiwaka , Mangawhai Village and Mangawhai Heads, baking for AN-

ZAC day, putting crosses on all the Service Men and Women's graves prior to

Anzac Day and making the posies and wreaths on the Wednesday prior - hey- but

it was worth it when we saw the huge crowd which attended on ANZAC to pay

their Respects, especially the young people, our future generation of members we

hope.! Many thanks to the Cadets Parents, and Members of the Public who

brought plates of food also. We would have been struggling without them.

Heather asked me to say a big Thank you to all who helped with the Poppy collec-

tion Roster.

KAIWAKA WEATHER

Greetings people. To my faithful followers. I do not forget to put my weather

report in to the Bugle sometimes as I cannot put my report in before the end of

the month. The Bugle is printed on a Monday and you receive it on a Tuesday

or Wednesday. Sometimes it so happens a Sunday or Monday is the last day of

the month so hence I dare not guess at what the weather will be. Also I am

supposed to have my report into the Bugle in time so they can collate the Bugle

without pressure. April‘s weather, dry, dry, hello rain. A few bits and then we

got at our house 82mm on the 16

and had bits ever since. As I do this report it

is bucketing down. The mushrooms have been good. The wind has been a bit

ferocious at times. It is good to see some of the farmers making good use of the

dry weather to put more dams in on their properties and cleaning out some of the

old ones. You never know what the next summer will bring as to droughts so be

forewarned. This April we had 193mm of rain and 2012 we had 28mm. Our

wettest April since 1987 was 2001 with 215mm and the driest April was 2005

with 28mm as was 2010 and 2012. Our wettest 1

four months was 2011 with

619 mm and the driest 1

4months was 2010 and 2013 with 193mm. We record-

ed rain 11 days this month. I think it is time to think about slippers, fires, warm

soup and winter woollies. At least some of the grass is recovering. Take care out

there. Bev.

WEAVING WORKSHOPS AND A PRIMARY
SCHOOL EXHIBITION WILL CELEBRATE

MATARIKI AT THE KAURI MUSEUM

Matariki, the Maori New Year, officially begins on 10 June this year. This is

when the constellation of Pleiades or the Seven Sisters rises for the first time in the

season. This is a time when families traditionally come together to celebrate, to

share skills, achievements, history and knowledge and to honour those who are no

longer with us and a time to celebrate new beginnings.

The Kauri Museum has asked primary schools from the old Otamatea area

(Tokatoka to Mangawhai) for a display from each school that will reflect the

Matariki theme. The children can use traditional or modern material, collage, flax

weaving, poetry, stories etc. These will all make up an exhibition and will be on

display in a prominent gallery at the Museum for visitors from many cultures to

view .

Weaving Workshops will be held with local weavers Martha

Hetaraka and Sandy Thompson . These will be held on 10

, 14

, 17

,19

and 21

June for two hours each day from

10am to 12 noon.

Beginners or more advanced weavers are welcome to attend as

many days as they wish. There will be no cost. For registration

or interest please phone The Kauri Museum 094317417.

THE EURONESIANS, OR

THE CHILDREN OF EU-

ROPEAN AND NATIVE

PARENTS

A very touchy subject, but as there are

several references to children of mixed

blood in the History of Kaiwaka, it can-

not be ignored. In 1843 a petition was

sent to England regarding the rights of

Euronesians, and while the Daily South-

ern Cross newspaper refers to the word

in use in N.Z., it was for a short while

used in other Pacific Islands, whether

they be Polynesian, Melanesian or Mi-

cronesian. In Tahiti they were called

Franconesian. In the newspaper of

1843 it states that it has advocated the

rights of European and Native, frequent-

ly and fully, but is concerned that there

is a large group that has been over-

looked by the wise legislators, and that

is the children of European fathers and

Maori mothers. It states, ―We have pro-

tectors for the Maori, and we have op-

pressors and advocates for the white

people, but not a single voice is raised

in favour of the Euronesian‖. The arti-

cle states in great length, that many

mixed marriages had been sanctified by

the Church, and those not married in a

Church had been unified by the laws

and customs of N.Z. before the Treaty.

It is noted that many mothers were

daughters of high ranking Chiefs, and

by 1840 there were some hundreds of

these children, some in their 30s and

40s, but most were of a younger age.

The question is asked how these chil-

dren should be regarded; should they be

classed as native living under the Treaty

of Weitangi (Waitangi) or should they

be treated as British subjects. As a Brit-

ish subject could inherit and sell their

inheritance, could they also sell their

mother‘s property, which under the

Treaty they were unable to do. A case

was given of a man living on Weihaki

(Waiheke) Island who had been granted

land and bought more from his wife‘s

tribe. He had a large family and lived in

a fine house. As N.Z. had no schools he

sent his children to Sydney to be edu-

cated, and while his sons were there he

was drowned, his land confiscated, with

his wife and children ending up living

in poverty in the Pah with her people.

The word Euronesian is in use again in

1844, when it is used in the passing of

the Native Trust Bill by the Legislative

Council. The writer of the article tells

how the Natives fall into four classes,

those who have resisted the Missionar-

ies, those who have embraced the

Church of England, those who have em-

braced the Wesleyans,, and those who

have converted to the French Roman

Catholics. He then states as all sects

despised and disliked each

other, he could only see prob-

lems ahead. How right he was.

It must be remembered that at the time

of writing, while the mixing of the rac-

es had started with the sealers and

whalers, then the traders, not all were

ruffians and some very well known

mixed families became prominent in

our history. In 1843 Maori vastly out-

numbered Europeans, and it was not

until 1858 that the role reversed. With

Maori being predominant in numbers,

many European were very patronizing

towards them, and opinion only

changed when the population base

changed. In the 1840s and 50s Maori

were wise in getting a tame pakeha to

live in the area, or better still a Mis-

sionary. So for a short time we had the

word Euronesian which got lost after

1844, but to me it seems far better than

the two words that replaced it.

THERE’S

Zonta Forum at Mangawhai Museum

On a grey, rainy Sunday on 21st April, Zonta held its District 16, Area 1 Forum in the new
museum building in Mangawhai. What better way can you spend a miserable day than
with 71 like minded, positive women celebrating and reporting on their
clubs' achievements over the last year, whether it be in a small way providing baby packs
for their local women's refuge or helping to eradicate the HIV virus in Rwanda in Africa.
In a week of utterly depressing World news of bombings, earthquakes, rapes and mur-
ders the Forum was a pure lift of the spirits knowing that Zonta is making a very marked
and positive contribution to the world.
Opened with a welcome address by the District Governor, Maureen Heine and Area 1
Director Lynda Garrett, the day progressed with Presidents' reports from each of
the 9 clubs in Auckland, Whangarei and Mangawhai which make up Area 1. As well
as there were workshops on "Advocacy in Action" and Membership discussion groups.
After a delicious lunch provided by the chef of the local Harvest cafe, the guest speaker
was Rae Roadley who gave a
very entertaining speech about
the female pioneers from her
latest book and how they are
often overlooked in history.  A
video update of Zonta Interna-
tional work in Rwanda closed
the day with the wonderful
news that Rwanda has come to
a pivotal point and is on the
verge of achieving its first HIV-
free generation by 2015.
It is not often you can leave a
conference with the
knowledge that your small
individual contribution is actu-
ally making a real difference, a
real improvement to someone
else's life. Well done ladies, you all deserve congratulating on your energy and commit-
ments. If you would like more information about Zonta, please contact Sue Poynter,
President of Managwhai Club on 027 555 6636 or go to the District 16 website

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:

Beware of Divide and Rule

These ‗commissioners‗ appointed by the National ‗government‗ to appease their

paymasters in the banking sector are manipulating the media to undermine the

good work being done by our democratic watchdog organisation (the Mangawhai

Ratepayers and Residents Association) and to divide and rule the good people of

the Kaipara district.

Never mind that 3 successive Ministers of Local Government REFUSED to en-

force the sections in the Local Government Act that compel Councils to consult

with ratepayers when significant increases in spending are proposed. ($23,000,000

>$58,000,000 IS very significant). The end game is to turn Northland into a Uni-

tary Authority and to privatise (i.e. buy up) all the utilities.

The means to achieve this is by saddling our communities with unbearable debt.

This is the political game our ‗elected representatives‗ are playing with our pre-

cious democracy. The judicial review being called by the Mangawhai Ratepayers

and Residents Association (Inc) will substantiate the culpability of the Ministry of

Local Government as the agency of The Crown charged with administering the

Local Government and Rating Acts: Section 121 of the Local Government Act

which states that ‗ the Crown shall not be liable for debts accrued by Councils‗

can only apply where due process has been followed: It wasn't - so it doesn't ! It

is the Minister(s) of Local Government's deliberate refusal to enforce the LGA

that has put us into this situation so the liability is theirs.

The Kaipara Commission's threat that it will cost us Ratepayers a further $500,000

to defend the indefensible is just another desperate manipulation which shows

their contempt for the due processes that were hard fought and enshrined in law to

defend us from such predations.

These people must think we are fools. (

Roading Complaints (letter sent to Council and their reply)

―Settlement Road is used as a main thoroughfare from State Highway 1 to Man-

gawhai, it services 50 houses within the first 1.5kms. There is a concert held eve-

ry new year on the road where there will be up to 300 PLUS cars using the road in

one day. It has milk tankers on it daily, school buses, stock trucks, other heavy

vehicles as well as normal vehicles.

The state of the road is appalling, the corro-

gations are so bad that people are driving on the

KAIPARA CITIZENS AND
RATEPAYERS NEWS

The reasons why the validation bill

should not proceed at this stage can be

seen here.

These reasons were presented to the

commissioners by the MRRA to try

and get them to be fair and reasonable

and to consult with ratepayers before

taking this unilateral action.

The MRRA has impressed on the com-

missioners that the issue of legal liabil-

ity for the illegal debts must be decided

either by agreement or by the

court. Indications are that a court hear-

ing could be held as early as June or

July. To have the High Court rule on

this matter, independently, fairly and in

accordance with the law, would bring

some finality to this long festering dis-

pute. After years of being told repeat-

edly by Council that issues of legality

could only be decided by the courts, it

would be a denial of ratepayers' rights

if the Council and parliament united to

deny them access to the court. The

MRRA has also made it clear that it

would take all reasonable steps to help

put Kaipara back on its feet again. If

agreement could be reached on legal

issues then ratepayers would support

the validation of all matters in the vali-

dation bill except for penalties on un-

paid rates by rate strikers, EcoCare an-

nual rates for one year when there was

no service, and the charges on units of

demand and SUIPs which were totally

outside the law.

Validation bills are having a rocky pas-

sage through parliament at the moment

and the Sabin bill will push parlia-

ment's tolerance to the limit. How pref-

erable it would be if it were de-

layed until all the problems of Council

are identified by the court and the OAG

report (which should be out soon) so

that All the problems facing Council

are included in the bill. Not only that,

it would have the support of ratepayers

as part of a negotiated settlement.

on the wrong side of the road to try and find a bit of roading that is

more even, the uneven roading has cars falling off the edges, the ridges

are so bad it sends your car all over the road while driving at a normal

speed, the corner after the big dip from the State Highway 1 end is so

small that a truck and a vehicle cannot pass at the same time, this also

hits in a blind spot and the vehicle heading towards the Mangawhai

end normally ends up in the bank.

I have had to repair fencing every month this year and my expense

which is getting a bit beyond a joke, people are driving at 100km on

tarseal heading to SH1 then suddenly hit gravel lose it go down the

bank and through my fence. There have been numerous accidents, on

the first 1km stretch of road, multiple cars with dents and dings, farm

fences destroyed which have let stock out on the road causing another

hazard. One horse has had to be shot due to the 4x4 and horse float not

being able to get past corner with another vehicle coming the other

way, one child has suffered a broken wrist trying to get out of the way

of a car losing control in the gravel at the top of the dip.

IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS

KILLED ON THIS STRETCH OF ROAD AND WE WILL ALL

BE BLAMING THE COUNCIL WHEN IT HAPPENS.

We have complained, signed petitions, watched other less used roads

get tarsealed that has nowhere near the amount and volume of traffic

that we have. It is 1km of roading that we ask to have tarsealed. And if

you can‘t do that then you need to make the road safe and have it main-

tained every few weeks as it only takes a couple of weeks after being

graded for it to be back to the same terrible condition. It is a require-

ment that if you have milk tankers on your road that it is meant to be

graded every 6 weeks this has never been done.

This is also formal notification that from now on I will not be repairing

my fences due to car accidents, I will have it repaired and the bill will

be going to the Council for payment as it is a result of your poor road-

ing conditions that is causing these accidents, and if any stock are lost

or injured during these events you will also be sent the bill.

I am speaking for both myself and a large group of neighbours in the

first 1k of gravel on Settlement Road. ―

Disgruntled Rate Payers Name and address supplied, Ed.

“I share your passion for our roads, as I am re-
sponsible for 446km of sealed roads and 1,124km
of unsealed roads in our district.

According to our records the grader was on Settle-
ment Road on the 25

of February 2013. As a re-

sult of the very dry weather this did not last long,
but it was done as we have received some service
requests on it. Normally if there is more moisture
in the roads, the grading activity lasts longer, but
due to the very dry conditions we are having now,
the roads unravel very quickly after it has been
graded. This is the same for most of the unsealed
roads in the district.

Settlement Road is a local

road  in  our  hierarchy,  and  carries  a  traffic  load
between  100-500 vehicles  per  day. This  is  signifi-
cant  for  an  unsealed  road,  but  in  the  same  in-
stance we have other unsealed roads with similar
traffic loads.

I  will  again  ask  that  you  submit  your  request  to
the  annual  plan  submission  process,  as  this  will
strengthen  our  case  if  we  are  to  justify  funding
from NZTA to do remedial work and improvement
works in the future.

I was informed today that the

planned grading cycle is to go over the road again
this week.

With regards to the installation of the

gravel road ahead sign, I will ask our engineers to
do an assessment for us, and make recommen-
dations.

Finally, again thank you for your interest,

and I urge you to make a submission to the annual
plan.

Elizabeth's been listening to The Wrong Door by Bunty Avieson, read by Fleur Bean
(Audio book 9 CDs). It was the talk of the wake. The women in the red dress. Everyone
at the service wondered. Who was that woman? Pete's dead and Gwennie's life will nev-
er be the same. How could Pete, a young, fit man, leave her now? Their lives together
were only just beginning. And pneumonia? It was insane, unthinkable, unbearable.
Somehow she struggles through the funeral in a daze, and the mysterious mourner in the
tight fitting red dress barely registers in her consciousness. The woman in red is Clare
Dalton and she has stumbled into the wrong funeral service. Her brief appearance and
signature in the condolence book are all it takes to set in motion a trail of deception,
mystery and buried secrets that connects these two strangers in ways they never thought
imaginable. An interesting listen, that takes a wee while to actually get going, and come
together. Worth waiting for the intriguing plot to come together, through many twists
and turns. Set in New South Wales, interesting to listen to a nearly home grown product.

I've recently read The Death Maze by Ariana Franklin. King Henry II's mistress, Fair

Rosamund, is fed poisonous mushrooms. At first it is thought that she was lucky to sur-

vive the assassination attempt - but the moment Adelia Aguilar hears of it, she knows

Kia Ora.

Well our Monday morning cuppa was well so well

supported, we almost ran out of tuna sandwiches.
We hosted reps from groups like Rotary, The Bugle and
The C.A.B.
Then we had many who wanted to register in the next
Carpentry, the Painting or the Organic Horticultural
Course. Plus we had the locals who came to meet the
North Tec Team, and show their support. Awesome.
Taina, Lionell and Dom from North Tec were very..
( blown away) with the numbers and the way we laid out
the welcome mat... and the sandwiches. Thanks Minnie &
Elisa. They will remember this and will help us utilise
what North Tec has to offer.....Well Done Kaiwaka and
Neighbours.

The Carpentry course is going very well. This fine

crew have already graduated out of the school-woodwork-

type projects and we are onto bigger projects as a team.

(Like minor additions to the Hall!) I enjoy the sharing of

tall, and often true, yarns of daring building exploits. As

well, I am formally training as a tutor (at North Tec), and

am getting used to the clerical aspects of running courses.

The plan is to keep impressing North Tec.

Don‘t forget. TheWorkCamp team will be adding

more to this training:

We are creating a unique and localised environment to run

these courses. We‘re finding our trainees as much work as

we can. While on the course or after graduation.

And we are going to become experts at using the above to

inspire; we‘ll get as many as we can onto these courses

and into this sort of work.

LIBRARY REPORT CONTINUES….

there is no surviving and that Rosamund will

soon die. It seems obvious that the attack

must have come from Henry's jealous wife,

Eleanor of Aquitaine. The country could be

torn apart if the Queen is pitted against the

King. But is that too obvious? Adelia is in a

race to find out the truth, before the country

descends into civil war or the assassin strikes

again. Another great installment in this series,

this is the second book in the "Mistress of

Death" series. Looking forward to the next

one! This book is on the Rental Fiction

shelves in the library.

See you in the library!

MOLESWORTH SHEEP DOG TRIAL CLUB, update.

The recent Club trials were very successful thanks to the favourable weather and the availability of sheep. The Club is most

grateful to James Parsons for allowing us to use his ewes that were grazing the trial grounds property. Run numbers were

up in the Heading events but lighter on the Huntaway courses. The Club President, Scott McRae, featured in the prize mon-

ey in three of the events with a 5th place in the Short Head and Yard with Elle, 4th place in the Zig Zag Huntaway and 1st

place in the Straight Huntaway. Tony Hargreaves and Steele with a 4th in the Long Head. Duncan Gilligan did manage a

first intermediate place with Tim in the Long Head, congratulations to them all.

The Club would like to thank all the generous sponsors for their contributions which made such a difference to the trials:

MANKAU WOOLS, RAVENSDOWN FERTILIZER, RABOBANK, POLAND MOTORS, PGG WRIGHTSON‘S BER-

NIE McGAHAN, RD1, ELDERS MERCHANDISE and JAMES PARSONS for the loan of the sheep, not forgetting the

great HOST, JIM LESLIE. A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who help on the grounds, releasing sheep, managing

the courses, delivering the smoko, manning the barbeque and all the kitchen ladies for making sure everyone has great food

over the two days.

Since ours was the last Club Trial of the season, the next trialling is the South Island championships taking place this week

near Blenheim and from reports received, Duncan Gilligan has had some pretty neat runs with Tim in both the Heading

events; sadly not quite good enough to beat the top runs, but very commendable.

Getting Gilligans, and dogs down to Blenheim became quite a saga after the discovery of a steering problem in their ute

which could not be fixed until after their proposed early start on Friday morning. A solution was proposed; swap utes with

Hasties, then Hasties could take Gilligans‘ ute to be fixed whilst they (Gilligans) set off southwards. All went well with

fixing the steering and on returning home I was greeted with the news that Hastie‘s ute had bro-

ken an axle, in Tokoroa! This really did pose a problem as no rental vehicles could be found (not

with a dog box anyway), so Gilligans found a motel and with local knowledge and thoughtful-

ness were also loaned accommodation for the dogs on a nearby block. Next problem was to res-

cue them and get them on their way again; thoughts of driving their own ute down to them were

discounted because there was no way to get that driver back to Kaiwaka. Next thought was to

get Lindsey and Tony to pick them up as they (Hargreaves) went south on Saturday but, with

their ute already packed fully with family belongings to be delivered to Oamaru, it looked unlike-

ly. Then suddenly the light went on and a solution was found. Tony would bring his ute to Has-

ties, take Duncan‘s and both Hargreaves would drive a ute each to Tokoroa and meet Gilligans

where a ‗ute-trade‘ would be made. That all worked extremely well thankfully but still left one

undriveable ute in Tokoroa. This has since been repaired and to return it to Kaiwaka will need

another ute convoy after Duncan collects it on the journey home. We just hope that all vehicles

are in perfect working order for the New Zealand Championships at Taupo where a few club

members are ready to compete and hopefully appear on the results board. Good luck to them all

Duncan and Tim

and we hope they have a great week there in good weather.

D & R Hastie

Don’t let this man drive your ute! Ed.
